Atlantic
Mac McGrew: Atlantic (or Atlantic Monthly) was cut by Monotype in 1909 for Atlantic. Monthly magazine, which used it as a body type for many years. The design is an adaptation of Scotch Roman, more regularized and with less emphasis on the capital letters than the original Scotch Roman, but hardly distinguishable from Monotype's keyboard sizes of that face, which were necessarily modified to fit mechanical limitations of the time. It can be classified as a modern typeface because of the sharp serifs and the contrast between thick and thin strokes. The typeface was recut and new sizes added in 1936. It is simply called Modern in some Monotype lists.o |
